This is the first in the follow-on courses from your Beginners course where you will start to improve your conversation and your understanding of short dialogues and short texts and make yourself understood in a range of increasingly unpredictable everyday situations.

During this course you will work to be able to develop a deeper understanding of the subject in applying the language in in relation to certain activities examples of which are listed below

- Describe daily routines, the frequency you do things during the week and also during your free time. - Describe what you do at work; describe positive and negative aspects of it. Describe your role and what are the things you must do and how often. - Describe what you can or cannot do, your abilities and knowledge. - How to express your opinion and express agreement and disagreement The main topics are designed for those who wish to converse a little more in the language when visiting the country or in a working environment. If you are to gain maximum benefit and enjoyment from your language class, it will be useful to spend some time working between sessions. There will usually be a small amount of homework set each week (up to an hour’s work). When homework is not set, it is still a good idea to spend about that amount of time going over what has been done in class.

Please note there are no classes during half term.
